KitchenAid Artisan Plus Stand Mixer Review Tiny Additions

The kitchen appliance titan changed up its beloved base-model stand mixer for the first time in over 70 years.

Wait, “glow-up” is doing a lot of work here — if it still weighs a ton and lives on the counter forever, the only upgrade I care about is whether the bowl/attachments are less annoying to clean. WIRED always makes these sound like a revolution when it’s usually one nicer knob and a new color.

The only thing that felt like a real upgrade for me was swapping to the stainless bowl + dishwasher-safe attachments, because the old coated ones got gross fast.
